Short answer: If a change in your child's behaviour, mood, sleep, eating or school performance has lasted more than a few weeks and affects daily life, an assessment is worthwhile. Seeing a psychologist does not label a child; it gives the family a clear picture and practical tools.
Signs to watch
- School refusal or a sudden drop in grades
- Frequent tantrums or anger outbursts beyond the child's age
- Withdrawal, loss of friendships
- New fears, nightmares, bed-wetting
- Changes in eating or sleeping
- Self-harm talk or extreme sadness in teenagers
What happens first?
- A parent session: history, concerns, family routine.
- Sessions with the child: play-based or conversational depending on age.
- Feedback and a plan; parents get guidance between sessions.
Will I know what my child says?
Confidentiality is explained to the child in an age-appropriate way; parents receive general feedback and anything relevant to safety.
